The whole family took action quickly, some helping others and some looking for plasters.
Du Guirong was helped back to the west room. The farce ended and the neighbors who were watching dispersed.
Although Du Guirong injured her waist in the end, the public had sharp eyes. They all saw clearly that Gu Nanzhi hit her to save her, so as not to let her get a bloody head injury, so...
No one can say anything bad about Gu Nanzhi.
Soon, the yard became quiet.
After Gu Nanzhi coaxed the two children, she began to clean up things in the yard.
Old Man Xie has some carpentry skills, so the broken tables and benches can be repaired when he comes back, which is not a big problem. However, he will have to pay for the dozen or so broken bowls and pots.
Gu Nanzhi felt distressed about having to pay the money, and her hand was also painful from being pierced by the glass shards when she fell to the ground!
This made her feel a little resentful towards Du Guirong.
In the original book, Xu Xiangling and Du Guirong did not get along after she married into the Xie family, and the two sisters-in-law had many conflicts. In the end, Du Guirong even slandered Xu Xiangling for having an affair with another man, but Xu Xiangling outwitted her and found out that she had slept with that man, which made her completely alienated from Xie Jianbang, and the couple ended up in divorce.
It's just a pity for Xie Yuanbao. His parents divorced when he was just six years old. The wife that Xie Jianbang married later was not good to him either, which made Xie Zhenting worry about him!
Whenever Gu Nanzhi thought about these things, his temples began to throb.
In the book, Xu Xiangling and Xie Zhenting were together, but they didn't drain the Xie family's money. Even so, that shrew Du Guirong couldn't tolerate Xu Xiangling, so how could she tolerate herself?
For example, what happened today was not in the original book!
She could already sense that Du Guirong would be even more harsh on her than she was on Xu Xiangling...
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Gu Nanzhi was thinking about Xu Xiangling when Xu Xiangling came out from the backyard carrying a basin of clothes. When she passed by Gu Nanzhi, she stopped.
"Busy packing?"
"Um."
Gu Nanzhi responded politely, thinking that the topic would end there.
After all, there was really nothing much to say between her, a cannon fodder and the heroine of the original book, but unexpectedly, Xu Xiangling put down the laundry basin and squatted down beside her.
"Gu Nanzhi, have you thought it through? Do you really want to marry that living dead man in the east room?"
When Gu Nanzhi heard this question, he turned to look at her with a dull expression.
"You're not bad looking, just a little worse than me. You can have any man you want. Why would you marry a living dead?"
Xu Xiangling lifted her long hair, seemingly speaking from the bottom of her heart, but in fact, she couldn't hide the gloating in her eyes at all, "I heard from an acquaintance in the town hospital that the living dead man in the east room will never wake up, and he might be dead at any time!"
"You are so young, and if you marry him you will become a widow. What do you want?"
While speaking, Xu Xiangling couldn't help but glance at Gu Nanzhi, and a flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She has always been confident about her looks. When she was sent down from the city to this remote countryside as an educated youth, she originally thought that she would be able to become a big shot with her looks. Unexpectedly, there was a Gu Nanzhi in the next village who was more beautiful than her.
In the past, she and Gu Nanzhi didn't see each other often, which was fine. But now she heard that Gu Nanzhi, who stole her limelight, was living a worse life than pigs and dogs in the Gu family. She could barely keep her composure, but...
Now that they live in the front and back yards, they see each other every day. When Xu Xiangling saw Gu Nanzhi's face that was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, she really couldn't help feeling jealous.
She was wondering, how could a small, poor and remote mountain village like this produce a beautiful woman like Gu Nanzhi?
This is unscientific!
Meeting Xu Xiangling's gaze, Gu Nanzhi: "!!!"
The corner of his mouth twitched!
What kind of look did the heroine of the original book give her?
She hasn't been reborn yet, is she going to turn evil?
Is this... a bit too hasty?
"Why don't you say anything? I'm doing this for your own good!"
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Xiangling said, "If you ask me, Wang Zhiqing is pretty good. Didn't he elope with you yesterday? It shows that he is deeply in love with you. On the contrary, you, do you think you can get anything good out of messing up the Xie family?"
"The guy in the west room gave birth to the only grandson for the Xie family. You can't beat him. It's better for you to follow Wang Zhiqing..."
As long as Gu Nanzhi ran away with Wang Bingcheng, she would feel relieved and out of mind!
Xu Xiangling's plan was a good one, but...
"Wang Bingcheng is such a good guy, why don't you just run away with him?"
Gu Nanzhi couldn't stand it anymore when she heard this. She asked, "You are praising Wang Bingcheng so much in your words and deeds. Does your boyfriend know about it? Does Zhao Jie know about it?"
She's had enough!
What on earth is the heroine of the original book doing?
What happened to the promised beautiful scenery without any dust?
Is this sour and picky behavior what a heroine should have?
The author of the original book should be whipped again!
"you!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangling stood up angrily and glared at Gu Nanzhi.
Her boyfriend is an officer who is back in town on business. He comes from a well-off family and has a strong possessiveness. If he really hears some rumors, she will definitely be in trouble!
And there is Zhao Jie. Everyone knows that Zhao Jie has a crush on Wang Bingcheng. If she gets involved with Wang Bingcheng, she won't have a peaceful life living under the same roof in the future!
Xu Xiangling, who already disliked Gu Nanzhi, was hit in the back by Gu Nanzhi's words. She disliked her even more and gnashed her teeth and said, "Gu Nanzhi, don't be so arrogant. God is watching you. Your mother was so angry that she was hospitalized, but you didn't even go to visit her. Aren't you afraid that others will point fingers at your spine and scold you?"
Gu Nanzhi: "My mother? Who is she?"
Of course she knew that Xu Xiangling was talking about Li Chunhua, but she didn't intend to respond!
It's normal for her, an adopted daughter who was sold, not to recognize her mother's family!
"you!"
Xu Xiangling was speechless. He glared at Gu Nanzhi fiercely, picked up the laundry basin and left.
Gu Nanzhi: “!!!”
Looking at Xu Xiangling's back as she left, he spat, "You're sick!"
She didn't provoke this guy, and she didn't know what made him suddenly go crazy and run up to her and make a weird statement.
But soon, Gu Nanzhi saw her own face in the basin while washing dishes, and she...
She suddenly realized!
This face looked about 70% similar to hers before, except that she was a little thinner due to malnutrition, and didn't look as round and plump as before. But even so...
She is beautiful too!
Whether it's from the bone structure or the skin...
She is much better than Xu Xiangling, the heroine with beauty mole!
Gu Nanzhi: “Hey!”
Suddenly I felt that Xu Xiangling's targeting was somewhat understandable!
If beauty is the original sin, then she...
I would rather be unforgivable!
"Ouch, my waist hurts so much!"
"Damn you Gu Nanzhi, she's trying to kill me!"
“…”
In the following time, the yard was filled with Du Guirong's wailing and cursing.
Gu Nanzhi turned a deaf ear.
Old Man Xie and the chef came back from buying food. When he saw the broken dishes in the corner and heard the scolding from the west room, he knew what had happened. He squatted at the door and smoked another bag of dry tobacco...
Seeing Du Guirong howling endlessly, with no sign of stopping even when it was dark, Gu Nanzhi...
